HAPPY BIRTHDAY to John Schouten who will celebrate his 80th birthday on November 7.
PLEASE KEEP Stan and Sharon De Vries in your prayers as Stan returned home Friday to recover from his broken leg. We pray for healing and relief for Stan and Sharon as she cares for him.
IT IS OUR JOY to celebrate communion this morning as we remember and believe in the completed work of Jesus through the cross.
